You may have spotted my last blog post about getting prepared for a ski trip – well now I want to tell you all about my time in Megève over New Years. We arrived in Megève just after Christmas and stayed for four nights. Megève is located in the south east of France, near the […]

January is always a time of year when we want to try and make a fresh start and it can be the best time of year for you to hop off for a weekend break somewhere new. The city is always a good place to visit during the winter months and today we are going […]

There is something so appealing about a skiing adventure. It’s a little different to what we might normally do on holiday, and it’s an excellent way of keeping fit and active,but I also love the exhilarating nature of skiing as well. I was lucky enough to indulge in some cross-country skiing (which is really hard!) […]

Traveling is certainly not the cheapest thing in the world to do – especially not if you’re planning to travel around a few different places for the cultural experience more than a typical vacation type of travel. So, if you’re looking to spend a few months or more on the road, then you’re […]

In my previous Myanmar blog post I covered where to stay and eat in Yangon so now I am going to run through what there is to do in the city. Considering how few tourists there are there is a lot of opportunity for sight seeing and some major landmarks that you can’t miss […]

Day 1 – Padova A few weeks ago I took a trip to my favourite Italian city, Padova! I have written about previous holidays to Padova before but this trip was extra special as I was showing one of my favourite people my favourite place for the first time. We flew from Stanstead to Venice […]

When we think about parties and festivals I think we quite often just assume that it all takes place in the UK. We don’t always think about travelling to Europe for a couple of days to experience a festival or celebration in a new country. Thanks to cheap holidays abroad, these days there is so […]

I love to take weekends away to European cities, especially when I can make use of the bank holiday weekends! I’ve been to the south of Portugal and spent several sunny, beach holidays in the Algarve but I had never been to the capital. Over Easter I got to spend 24 hours in […]
